Synopsis

The international bestseller Between a Rock and a Hard Place is now a major motion picture starring James Franco.

Hiking into the remote Utah canyonlands, Aron Ralston felt perfectly at home in the beauty of the natural world. Then, at 2:41 P.M., eight miles from his truck, in a deep and narrow slot canyon, an eight-hundred-pound boulder tumbled loose, pinning Aron's right hand and wrist against the canyon wall. Through six days of hell, with scant water, food, or warm clothing, and the terrible knowledge that no one knew where he was, Aron eliminated his escape option one by one. Then a moment of stark clarity helped him to solve the riddle of the boulder--and commit one of the most extreme and desperate acts imaginable.

Honest, inspiring, and undeniably astonishing, 127 Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place has taken its place in the annals of classic adventure stories.

Q: Saying farewell is also a bold and powerful beginning. (c) Well... I'm not gonna harp like oh so many clever reviewers about how the protagonist 'just should've known better'. I do love harping and, had I known him personally, I would've smacked him real hard but since I'm an independent reviewer,......more

Goodreads review by Allison on November 15, 2010

I understand why people love or hate this book. I know some people can't get over the perceived selfishness of a lifestyle in which cheating death is just that, and I get where they're coming from; I just disagree. I also get that people think there's too much ego in this book, and no great lesson i......more

I am going to go easy on my review here, because the man did have to cut off his own hand, but I really didn't like this book and mostly because I didn't like the author. He (my guess is, unwittingly) does not give a flattering portrayal of himself. The autobiographical background chapters of the boo......more

Goodreads review by Brian on June 02, 2012

(4.0) Well-written account of a trying experience I don't see any acknowledgment of assistance in writing this book, and since he graduated summa from Carnegie Mellon, he's probably a bright guy, so I think he may have actually written this himself. He also gets pretty jargony (and specific!) about s......more
